Slayers: Deadly Reunion -- Part Four!

Description

Time for Part Four of a Slayers adventure that will test our heroes in a way NO ONE would want!

Right at the start we'll check in with the femme fatale of Slayers herself, Rika Tsukino's girlfriend, Reiko Scarlet Sakura...and as I ominously foreshadowed in previews, she'll be one of those affected the worst by Rika's kidnapping. :(

Again, others will get involved in unexpected ways...and I mean those as far away as, oh, the Chiba Prefecture. Rika has friends there, you see, and one of them is the leader of the Inazuma Fighters! At the start of this very bad day, though, things are quiet as Fubuki is receiving a special guest. It's part of the lore of Slayers that Elves aren't seen often by the ordinary, but then no one ever accused Buki of being 'ordinary'! :D

This morning the guest she's meeting is someone she met barely four months ago, and only briefly, during :iconkodracan: 's epic story "The Return". He's a one of a kind warrior himself and he's partly descended from a tribe of Elves different from Arbon Sakarian's! His name is Lessay, Ko's written about him lots, and I wouldn't be featuring him in this story without the approval of his creator, :iconcharolhopexiii: ! :hug:

And yes, there's more! We'll also look into :icontough-turtle-dragon: 's Swift Wolves as they're paying a visit to a sweet shrine maiden and Vanquisher-in-training, :iconkishithedragoness95: 's Meiko Kusanagi. You'll discover in the story Hachiro, Hundra and their pack met Meiko before, just last month in January of 2052. The story itself will explain further, but one of the Wolves couldn't help but fall head over heels for Meiko, and she might like him just as much! :love:

Indeed, this story will reference a truly beautiful artwork Kishi did that showed how a certain furry hero and Meiko first met...you'll find it here! :)

Okay, enough expositing, let's get on with the story!

"Deadly Reunion" -- Part Four!

--1--

Misa Asagi finally managed to reach a truly fatal beauty right after she alerted Suzune and Haigo.

Reiko Scarlet Sakura was in the middle of executing a mission as a bounty hunter for the courts of Demon City 7 at the time, which was why Misa had trouble getting ahold of her. Sometimes being a hunter of criminal assholes who did stupid stuff like skip bail could be really lucrative, but high bounties also meant one's quarry could be really dangerous. Still and all, the threat level of many of her targets didn't bother this heartstopping blonde beauty at all. As bold as she was righteous, the young lady had been trained in another, darker life to be the greatest assassin ever. Seriously.

Reiko had only failed to snag one criminal ever since she started hunting bounties, and that was the result of a passionate Inazuma Fighter you'll meet later. This morning, like usual, she tackled her targets all by herself without any backup from the police. Reiko liked to save the cops any trouble in that way; she'd only alert the authorities to be there and stand by to assist in case she had a real challenge...and even then she'd only have them move in after she secured the area and the target (or targets) were in the bag. Yeah, she was THAT damn good.

While Reiko might have been the deadliest beauty to ever live in this world, it still took some effort and patience to nail her targets with safety and care. When she got the drop on the three fugitives, two of them criminal Angels, they would have posed a challenge if she hadn't been careful to a fault. But when she did get the drop on them at the right moment in the condo where they were lying low, she dropped HARD! They barely even registered the glorious sight of the green eyed femme fatale before she took them all down expertly and efficiently.

Waiting for her chance, though, Reiko had her phone off all of this time so not to alert the assholes of her presence. While useful, mobile devices didn't help if you wanted to be stealthy. The blonde in skintight black was standing over the three unconscious assholes and switched her phone on to call the police and let them know she was on her way with her bounties...she quickly noticed on her call history that Misa tried to reach her several times. Right then and there, a ringtone issued from her device and Reiko saw it was Misa.

The femme fatale realized this was something urgent and immediately hit the green button...she answered, "Hello, Misa! I'm sorry, I was indisposed for a while. How can I -- ?"

Misa interrupted the blonde, and for a long and horrible moment that felt like it took forever, Reiko absorbed the thudding news: Rika Tsukino, a girl she had grown to love in the most primal and heavenly of measures, had been kidnapped.

Reiko's jade green eyes were wide as she stared into space and said into her phone softly, "I...I-I see." The huntress couldn't keep herself mild anymore and began to ask in a tone of increasing anger and desperation: "Does anyone have any idea where Rika is now? Do you at least know who kidnapped her?! Have they made any demands...!" The beauty's eyes shut HARD as she really, really willed herself to calm, but it took a tremendous effort. Several frantic heartbeats later, Reiko managed, "Dammit, this just happened so of course it's too early to ask that...!"

On the other end of the line, a sweet voice asked a kind of dumb question, all things considered...Reiko's expressioned hardened and she snapped, "No, I am not all right. I...!" Again, the huntress had to govern herself. Gods, it was so hard. Reiko's green eyes finally softened as she looked into space and she said with elemental apology, "Forgive me, sweetheart. I-I really appreciate your concern, but all that matters to me is Rika." A moment of silence as she listened again. Reiko nodded and told Misa, "I'm going to travel straight to Narukami Apartments. Yes, Misa. I'll be right there."

Reiko Scarlet Sakura left the condo...as she did, she called the cops to pick the three assholes up.

--2--

Rewind only minutes earlier, right after Kyoko, Misa and Kikyo were alerted about the kidnapping by Hikari Abe Zong.

At a humble home in the Chiba Prefecture. A taxi pulled up and an extraordinary sight stepped out of it. He had pale skin and silver hair, but what really made the guy stand out were his distinctly pointed ears. In spite of the way of the Japanese people to not stare or cause any other social awkwardness, this man definitely earned long and curious looks from comparatively 'ordinary' humans, and sometimes even from Angels. Again, those even partly of Elven descent weren't a common sight in mainstream society for a lot of reasons we don't have to go into at the moment.

If you did really stare at this distinctive warrior, he looked like he wouldn't have minded...it's better to say he didn't give a damn.

He reached the door of the two story house and keyed the 'ring' button on the intercom close by. It only took a moment before a young woman's voice answered: "Konichiwa, can I help you?"

The man's voice was quiet and full of purpose as he said, "This is Lessay Daryan. Am I speaking to Miss Inazuma?"

Hardly a few heartbeats later, the door quickly opened inward and a bombshell beauty was standing at the threshold with a big smile on her face...the blonde with attractably messy hair declared, "It's Fubuki Inazuma, and hi! It's been a while!"

Lessay nodded and said, "Yes." It had been four months ago, October of last year, when they met very briefly during a really hectic time as a diverse collection of forces gathered to put a stop to the Oe family after their hostile takeover of Sakamoto Pharmaceuticals. Lessay got involved because someone really close to him was hip-deep in that shit. The warrior asked, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"

Fubuki told him, "No, Daryan-san, you're good! If anything major came up, I wouldn't even be here. Heck, I would have called to cancel this meeting you wanted!"

"I'm surprised you wanted to see me this early in the day."

Buki shrugged. "Hey, the kind of life I live, I needed to schedule this early. I never know how my day's gonna go!"

"I see. May I come in?"

"Just as long as you behave yourself, sure!" Buki stepped to one side and the man quietly entered. At the moment, Fubuki was here by herself...like usual, her mom was busy with lots of things! The blonde closed the door and asked, "So I understand you're a High Elf? Most folks don't get to meet people like you...serious, this is an honor you wanted to talk to me!"

The quiet warrior informed her, "Actually, only one of my parents was a High Elf."

"Oh! Is it okay to ask more about -- ?"

Lessay quickly said, "I'd rather you didn't, please. I'm a...private person. I came to see you about another subject entirely."

Fubuki slowly drew closer as she asked, "Yeah, and you really want to talk to me about swords?"

"Yes. The art of swordsmanship is something I've always striven to excel in. Our encounter might have been very brief during that crisis involving the Oe family, but I got the sense you're a kindred spirit. Like me, you follow the discipline of the warrior."

"I'm really trying my best to be a warrior, Daryan-san." Buki looked down and admitted in a self-depreciating way, "And when it comes to discipline, I definitely need to work on that!"

"Please, Lessay will do, Miss Inazuma."

"Okay, Lessay, and you don't have to be so formal and call me Fubuki!"

The half-Elf nodded. "Very well. I've taken the liberty to research your public information, Fubuki. I understand you wield the Makkura swords?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

"I was curious to see them, please. I've heard of the legend of those cursed swords, and until I first met you, I believed they were destroyed long ago."

"Oh, they weren't destroyed. And if you want to see 'em..." Then Fubuki Inazuma held her hands out to the sides, palms open, and she put all of her focus into a magical command she didn't have to speak verbally. In the next instant, her Makkura swords materialized into her hands and she took firm hold of them immediately! Buki said with a smile, "Here you are! I don't know you well, so pardon me if I don't just hand 'em over to you!"

Lessay wasn't fazed at all; in his long life, he'd seen much stranger sights! "It's all right, simply looking at them would be enough." He took only one step closer and gave Buki plenty of respectful space as he really stared at the Makkura. He mused, "Interesting. You can feel the power from those blades...much like they're living things."

Buki informed him, "I know their legend too, and I wouldn't be surprised if they used to be alive. So you're interested in Demonic swords?"

"As a swordsman, I don't discriminate when it comes to such weapons. How did you do that, by the way? A basic summoning spell?"

"Yep! The Makkura are kept in a mystic containment vault in a location I'd rather keep to myself, so nobody else can reach 'em. I learned a summoning spell long ago so I can teleport 'em right into my hands anytime I want. Super-basic magic, but it's convenient so I don't have to lug these bad boys around all the time!" Ages upon ages ago, magical spells involving the teleportation of inanimate objects had developed a science all by itself. Those who didn't know magic were still thrilled when they saw such tricks performed on stages by magicians across the world. It was the mystic teleport of living things, especially people, that was a LOT trickier!

Lessay nodded once again. "Understood. I am surprised to know that as a member of a holy fellowship of warriors like the Vanquishers, you would be given swords forged by evil Demonic forces. Again, they have a legend as cursed blades."

"Yeah, they were once, but not anymore. When the Makkura were captured as spoils of combat by the Vanquishers years ago, my order had 'em purified. If they hadn't been, it wouldn't be healthy for me to even touch 'em!"

"Ah."

"So, you wanna keep looking at them, or...?"

"Oh, no. Thank you for that, and I hope I wasn't any trouble."

With a focused thought, Fubuki willed her swords to disappear and return to their confinement vault. They didn't go poof! or anything, they just...weren't there anymore! The blonde reassured, "Misa told me you're one of the good guys too, so it's no trouble at all!"

"Good?" One of the half-Elf's eyebrows arched briefly. "Like you, I am simply doing my best."

"So what else about swords did you wanna talk about?"

Lessay told her, "Actually, I hoped to lay down a friendly challenge for you."

Buki blinked and asked, "Huh?"

"As I said, I strive to excel as a warrior. One way to accomplish that is by testing myself against worthy opponents. I understand one of your fellow Vanquishers, Kyoko Asagi, tests herself in such ways."

"Yeah, so haven't you challenged her?"

Lessay finally smiled for the first time...but in a very quiet way...as he remarked, "The Warrior Worth a Thousand herself? I'm not an idiot. Maybe I'll challenge her one day if I'm in the mood to lose a fight."

"Ohh!" Buki grinned as her stance became much more casual...she really looked at Lessay and purred, "And you think you have a chance with me?"

His smile didn't falter. "One never knows, and I don't know you. Maybe you'd be so inclined to test yourself, as well?"

Buki's smile became a bit more serious and she shook her head softly. "With respect, I've gotta say no. I always fight from my heart, and when I do, I don't play."

"I understand. Passion is all well and good, Fubuki, but be careful when you let such a thing guide you. You did mention you needed to work on being disciplined?"

"Yeah." The blonde's smile faded a bit as she examined Lessay. "Sounds like you're speaking from experience."

Lessay Daryan's smile was gone then. Almost physically he drew back and turned from her...he looked at nothing in particular as he thought of a past which he had many reasons to regret. He finally told the leader of the Inazuma Fighters: "I'm a private person, but yes. I am."

Immediately, deeply concerned she offened him, Fubuki began softly, "Lessay-san..." And then her damn cell phone in one of her pants pockets rang. With apology, she said, "Crap, hold on!" Lessay looked to the leader as she got her phone and took one look at its screen. She smiled warmly and held the phone to her ear...she greeted, "Hi, Kiki! What's up??"

In an instant, Fubuki's mood shifted nearly violently. Kikyo Sakai had just found out Rika Tsukino was kidnapped by a force unknown and was now relaying that information to the blonde. With boiling outrage, Fubuki snarled, "Gods damn it. D-did you call anybody else!?" A brief pause. Buki snapped, "Don't bother, I'll let mom, Marika and EVERYBODY know! It's gonna take us too fucking long to get there, but we'll move as fast as -- !" Another awkward pause, and the blonde damn near shouted, "I am NOT just gonna sit and fuckin' wait, would you!? We're talking about a friend and sister Vanquisher! I'm dropping every damn thing and I know the rest of the Fighters will wanna stop what they're doing and help Rika, too!" Buki's expression softened a little for a moment as she listened again. "I love you too, Kiki. Give me a few minutes and I swear we're gonna be on the fuckin' move, okay? Call me when you find out more!" Fubuki hit the red button and she was close to trembling as she cursed again, "Gods-fucking-dammit!"

With quiet care, Lessay asked, "What is wrong, Fubuki?"

The leader was pure awkwardness when she told him, "Y-you've gotta go, Lessay-san, I've got to go. A friend I know just got kidnapped in Demon City 7."

"Who? You mentioned someone named Rika...?"

"Yeah, that's my friend. Rika Tsukino."

Lessay's brow furrowed with more than a little concern as he thought of Sekien. "I know of her. I never met Rika, but she's a friend to someone...very close to me. Can I assist you?"

Buki gave him a look and asked, "Can you help without being a pain in the ass?"

Lessay Daryan smiled in a quiet way again and answered, "I'll see what I can do."

That was more than good enough for Fubuki Inazuma as she speed dialed a number on her phone...it only took a moment before she said into it: "Mom! You're gonna wanna drop what you're doing right now!"

--3--

The boy and girl had met only a month ago in January, right before a shitstorm happened to the Asagi sisters that nearly destroyed their lives.

The Swift Wolves, a pack of truly unique warriors from Yammutika, finally got to pay a visit to Dragon Village far to the north of their home. When the guys got to meet a couple of Ryu Rangers from that fabled village one night -- an EVENTFUL night when Tiru Krywood was in Demon City 7 for the first time -- they had to answer a long-held desire to go there. The warriors were also musicians on the side, a band of brothers as a rock and roll band too, when they weren't combatting evil forces! It took some arranging, but they managed to get a booking for a concert with the most prominent authority of the village, the High Priest of Dragon Temple himself, Shinpachi Kusanagi.

The crusty veteran High Priest didn't make that arrangement a simple thing, though...as Kyosuke Oda himself once said, the old guy wasn't exactly into rock and roll! Still, the Swift Wolves managed to win Shinpachi over with the endorsement of their new friends TK and Kyo. So the brothers traveled to Dragon Village for a couple of days...and it was mostly uneventful, even though ol' Shinpachi kept a close watch on these guys, just in case!

But the High Priest couldn't keep an eagle eye on the dudes all of the time...one of them used his gift-given ability to shapeshift into his Wolf Form and quietly explore the wilds around the village. He really didn't mean any harm, naturally. The dude sure didn't expect to run into anyone else as he looked around...

...but in a peaceful field, he spotted a lone figure kneeling in the grass and doting on a bunch of supercute rabbits. It was a girl of quiet, incredible beauty who drew the dude like a moth to a flame. He really really prayed he wouldn't startle the girl or the rabbits there with her...

...but all the bunnies were chill, and so was the girl as she looked right at the larger-than-normal wolf and said, "Konichiwa!"

"Gulp!" The big wolf stopped in his tracks. Even in this form, he could speak and he managed, "Ah, uh...hi...!"

The girl dressed in the robes of a celestial shrine maiden asked, "I'm sorry, did I surprise you?"

The big wolf was flummoxed...with a shy, careful tone, he answered, "A-actually, I didn't want to surprise you or all these rabbits! I-I'm not lookin' for a meal or anything. You probably figured out by now I'm not a REAL wolf!"

The girl smiled in a heartaching way as she told him, "Oh, I could tell the moment I sensed you! So could my friends. You are human, right?"

"Y-yeah, of course!" The big wolf trotted a bit closer. "I uh, I can't show you right now 'cause I don't have my clothes with me. If I was to change back to human now -- !"

The girl blushed and looked down at the earth in such a gorgeous way. "Oh!"

The shapeshifter was totally smitten by this innocent girl. "Y-yeah." He came a little closer and finally sat on his big haunches. "Uh, do you...come out here often?"

The color in the girl's cheeks faded a little as she answered, "Once I did. Not so much lately. Grandfather often gets worried when I go outside of the village by myself." She didn't even want to go into how concerned and miffed Shinpachi was that she commuted most every day to Demon City 7!

"Your grandpa must love you a lot to be so protective."

The girl giggled and he informed the dude, "Protective is a really good word for my grandfather! If he saw you with me, he'd likely chase you away with something sharp!"

"Oh! M-maybe I should go...?"

The maiden leaned a bit toward the big wolf as she sat on her knees...the bunnies all around her hopped and nuzzled at the beauty with content as she invited gently, "You don't have to." Much more softly, she introduced herself: "I'm Meiko."

The big wolf bowed his head and answered, "I-I'm Hundra. I'm just visiting your village with my brothers and I wanted to take a quick look around." Much more quietly, he continued, "When I saw you, I...I really needed to say hello."

Deeply curious, the girl asked, "Why?"

He answered with total honesty (and more than a little trepidation), "Because I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you in my entire life."

The maiden blushed brightly as she exhaled softly, "Oh...!"

That was how Hundra Chima and Meiko Kusanagi first met.

--4--

Now, at the start of what would be a damned long day. Demon City 7. The Middle Ground Temple of Vanquishers. Most of the Swift Wolves were gathered in a big room of the main temple itself, and they were all pretty anxious. The least serious of them all, Yabe Junji, finally griped, "I'm sorry, somebody explain to me again why we can't join Hundra and say hi to Meiko-san?" Ever since that fateful visit to Dragon Village, Hundra and Meiko texted each other just about every free moment they both had. The pack finally got the chance to go to Akuma No Machi Seben so the two of them could see each other again on this fateful morning.

The leader of the pack, Hachiro Chima, was strong and firm as always as he answered matter-of-factly, "You know how my little brother is. Ever since he met that girl, he's been more self-conscious than usual."

The masked member of the pack, Akiba Fumihiko, said with knowledge, "Hundra's always been a pretty shy guy. And that's saying a lot coming from me!" Akiba was definitely the most soft-spoken of them all.

Yabe wasn't satisfied and commented, "Yeah well, it's nice Hundra's all worried about appearances around that girl. He's being more sensitive than you once were when it came to Tiru, Alpha!"

Hachiro growled, "I was never 'sensitive'! Just respectful. And that won't ever change." That was an absolute truth, especially since he and Tiru Krywood became lovers weeks ago. "I can understand why Hundra's worried."

"But that doesn't mean we can't say hi to Meiko-san, too!"

White haired Oba Okura, the voice of reason of the pack, advised, "We will, Yabe. Hundra just wanted some time with her to himself."

Akiba seconded that and said, "He is pretty serious about this girl. We should be, too."

Yabe frowned and voiced his worries: "I just wanna know how serious Meiko-san could be?? I don't want Hundra to get shot down or anything!"

Hachiro nodded and said, "I can imagine how my brother must feel, so I hope such a thing doesn't happen. What I'm more concerned about is the girl's grandfather Shinpachi."

Yabe frowned. "That old dude kept giving us the frickin' stinkeye when we were in Dragon Village. He can probably chew nails and spit out corkscrews, and you've gotta wonder how he'd react if he knew Hundra wanted to court his granddaughter. He might be the one to shoot down Hundra, maybe literally!"

Hachiro nodded. "Then I'd call that good reason for my little brother to be careful...the last damn thing he needs is -- !"

"CHIRO!" The pack reacted as Hundra Chima appeared at a big doorway; he looked ready to panic as he cried, "Everybody, we need help!" He didn't even stay to explain as he left them just as quickly as he appeared!

Yabe said, "Damn, maybe her grandpa just showed up!"

Hachiro was TOTAL business as he growled at his pack, "Come on!" The Swift Wolves moved as one, and it didn't take them long to reach Hundra in another chamber...

...who could only look with complete worry at Meiko Kusanagi -- the poor girl was was nearly hysterical with fear as tears flowed down her pale cheeks as she spoke into a phone she held TIGHTLY in both hands like her life depended on it. Oba asked, "What's wrong?!"

Akiba said with concern, "Whoa, why's Meiko-san crying???"

Hundra anxiously explained: "Misa-san's on the phone. She told Meiko-chan her friend Rika Tsukino was kidnapped by some assholes."

Hachiro asked, "Did this just happen?"

"Yeah. Rika-san's a Vanquisher, too."

Chiro's expression became even MORE serious than it already was. "Tiru told me about her. Rika-san is close to the Asagi sisters."

Oba looked at the pack leader and said, "If those sisters love Rika-san, then I pity the damned fools responsible for this."

Yabe said with a groan, "Shit, Kyoko-san's gonna want to destroy somebody. I know that girl well enough to know that!"

Hachiro Chima looked like he was ready for a fight, too. He said, "Rika-san and the Asagi sisters really helped Tiru that night they first met." He looked around him at every member of his pack and declared, "As far as I'm concerned, we're involved. We owe them a debt of honor as fellow warriors, and this is a wrong that must be made right."

None of the rest of the dudes even thought of disagreeing...in fact, Oba spoke for them all when he said with earnest, "Amen, Alpha!"

"H-Hundra...!" Meiko's soft voice sounded broken as she tearfully hung up her phone.

Hundra was right there for her and gently took her hands...he said with care, "I'm right here, Meiko-chan...we're all here for you -- !"

"Meiko??" Everyone there looked to another doorway, where two new arrivals appeared. They were two more guys, and the one who spoke took one look at the maiden and burst, "Oh no, why are you crying??" They were the Spiral Brothers, Yoshiro and Touma Hibiki.

Yabe looked at them both and said offhand, "Good question. Somebody else beat you to it!" Nope, this guy usually wasn't serious. At all.

The second of the two new arrivals gave the pack a hard look and demanded, "Who the hell are you guys? You'd better not be the reason that girl's upset!"

Yabe shot back, "Relax, spikey! We're not the problem, but you look like you wanna start one." He gave Chiro a look and told his leader, "I thought you liked to do that!"

Hachiro commanded, "Yabe, shut up." He stepped forward and introduced himself and the rest: "Hachiro Chima. This is my brother Hundra and our pack. Now introduce yourselves."

The softer spoken of the two dudes bowed and said, "Yoshiro Hibiki."

His sibling said impatiently, "I'm his big brother Touma, now what's wrong with Meiko?!"

Despondent, Meiko moaned, "Yoshi, Rika has been kidnapped!"

Both brothers didn't take that well; in fact, Touma cursed, "What the fuck?!"

Hundra gave Touma a hard look and told the dude, "Watch your language around Meiko-chan, mister!"

Touma frowned back. "Rika's a fellow Vanquisher Initiate, so I can use whatever damned language I want!"

Yoshi moved closer to the maiden and asked, "Meiko, is there any way we can help??"

Moved by gentle Yoshi's concern, Meiko managed, "Thank you, oh thank you. Th-this just happened and my sempai and Misa-chan are on their way to the attack site now." She quickly turned to Hundra; she clutched one of his big hands in both of hers as she urged, "I need to go too, I need to help them!"

Hundra answered instantly, "Of course! C-can I come with you?"

Meiko Kusanagi was slowly regaining her strength as she said with overwhelmed gratitude, "Yes, please! I hope you don't mind if I carry you to Narukami Apartments? I mean, I'm the one who can fly, so...!" The maiden wore her battle suit at the moment, which didn't just give her the ability to fly, it augmented her strength by many times!

Hundra smiled and told her, "That would be no trouble whatsoever, Meiko-chan!"

With a goofy smile, Yabe asked, "Wait, that girl's gonna carry Hundra?? I thought I'd have to pay to see a sight like that -- !"

Chiro growled, "Yabe."

"Yeah, Alpha!"

The leader barked at him then, "Shut up!" Hachiro Chima stepped before his little brother and told him, "Call me the moment you know more, Hundra. We'll be here for you!"

Hundra Chima nodded deeply and said, "Thanks!"

Yoshi Hibiki said with a reassuring voice, "Meiko, we're going to make sure everyone in the temple knows about this!"

By his side, Touma Hibiki was angry as he snarled, "Shit, we're gonna make sure every Vanquisher in the Metropolis knows because they'll wanna! We're all going to want to help Rika, and we will." His expression tightened as he said harshly, "We'll also make damn sure whoever did this will wish they were never even born!"

 

TO BE CONTINUED!

---

Next time, more heroic souls who hold Rika dear will hear the bad news. Then the Asagi sisters (among others!) will arrive at the scene of the crime. And they'll find out who was responsible for this kidnapping! ^___^

Giving credit where it's due!

Very good work Charles! Again, thank you so much for including my characters within your works it means a lot :)
